The eastern half (BM Peninsula side) of Tarcoola Reach will be closed on the weekend after next for the ACT Wakeboarding Carnival. The closure is between 0730 and 1800 hours each day. From past experience, rowing boats need to be very careful anywhere near this area as the wake boats do not stay contained in this area and the wakes definitely don't. Small boats and inexperienced rowers should keep right away. An accompanying safety (coach) boat is recommended. All traffic needs to pass as close to Weston Park as possible and you will need to negotiate with others using this narrow (and rough) channel to be as safe as possible. ACT Representatives for Interstate Masters Events - Call for nominations ACTRA is calling for nominations for the women's and men's eights and quads to represent the ACT in the interstate masters races. These will be held at lunchtime on Saturday 20th May as part of the Australian Masters Rowing Championships on Lake Nagambie. Darrell Ninham (CRC) and Stephen Trowell (BMRC) have been appointed as selectors. State Masters Representative crews are D category, i.e average Masters age of 50 or more. It is planned to hold a race between the CRC and BMRC mens eights to determine the representative mens eight. Other crews will be determined according to the selectors' judgement of the fastest combinations that meet the age requirement. Seat racing may be conducted in small boats if necessary. All those wishing to be considered are requested immediately to e-mail their details including contacts and dob to and also to fill in a nomination form (MS Word or PDF) and return to by COB 12 April.
